Jenkins’ illustrations are always stunning and that doesn’t change in his latest nonfiction book. While the book is supposed to be aimed at younger readers, I know my middle schoolers will love it. I think it will also serve as a great introduction to some species they are not familiar with. Hopefully, that will then lead to more research on their part. I mean, I learned a lot from this book! I had no idea cobras aim at the eyes and can spit venom accurately from over 8 feet away. Holy cow! I also enjoyed the afterward at the end, which gave more in-depth information on all of the animals.
